Q's Quote:Clippers have won 3 of their first 5 games of the homestand, and need to take care of the Blazers as well in order to improve playoff positioning. Lakers and Dallas both lost last night, giving the Clips more breathing space behind them and only being 1.5 behind the Lakers now, with a chance to cut it to 1 if they can defeat the Blazers. Memphis plays in Houston tonight while Dallas visits Orlando, so it could be a shot to further increase space ahead of the Grizz and Mavs on top of cutting into the Lakers division lead.
